Washing Machine Do’s and Don’ts

Yoga Mats – Do

Cleaning your yoga mat may not be something you think about often, but it’s actually important. It’s extremely necessary for the same reason you clean your workout clothes – it’s full of sweat. In addition to all the sweat that it absorbs, your matt also gathers dirt from the floor. So when it comes to washing your yoga matt, you can just throw it in the wash.

This should be perfectly fine unless your yoga matt has a label specifically telling you not to put it in the washing machine. According to experts at Cleanpedia, you should use a mild detergent and then wash it on a delicate cycle in 30-degree water or cooler. So, don’t forget to keep your yoga mats clean.
